Anthropic's Tom Brown and OpenAI's Sam Altman are also scheduled to appear at the gathering on Wednesday.\n\nHuang's message echoed those of the Trump administration and other American tech executives who spoke during the first part of Tuesday's meeting.\n\nThe executives want less regulation around the world for their rapidly growing businesses, or to shape the rules as they are written.\n\nFederal government requirements could hurt the industry's profits if they slow the release of new models or prompt the companies to change how their products perform to address security concerns.\n\nThe U.S. is aiming to persuade G20 members at the gathering to avoid writing entirely new regulations for AI, and instead focus on writing rules for \"novel\" situations involving the technology, U.S. President Donald Trump's tech advisor, Michael Kratsios, said on Tuesday.\n\n(Reporting by Courtney Rozen in Washington and JC Whittington in North Carolina; Editing by Sharon Singleton and Louise Heavens)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-to-avoid-ai-rules-on-theoretical-harms", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-avoid-130200212.html", "published_at": "2026-09-02 13:02:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-02 13:26:22.407183+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy"], "entities": ["Nvidia", "Jensen Huang", "G20", "Howard Lutnick", "Anthropic", "Tom Brown", "OpenAI", "Sam Altman"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-to-avoid-ai-rules-on-theoretical-harms", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-to-avoid-ai-rules-on-theoretical-harms.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-to-avoid-ai-rules-on-theoretical-harms.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/nvidia-ceo-urges-g20-to-avoid-ai-rules-on-theoretical-harms.jsonld"}}
